Good morning.
“The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. "Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does." They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted.”
Feels.
What a chaotic day.
Before humans came around the animals and other organisms of this planet had no ability to change, to make decisions that might better effect their lives, they were just survivors. Humans have this grand ability to create for themselves, to interpret, to rationalize.
I think, because of free will,a ll throughout human history, a war has raged between us.
A war between extremism and reason, between selfishness and altruism, between cowardice and courageousness, between apathy and empathy, between gluttony and control, between stagnation and change, between love and hate, between chaos and order.
Throughout this war, it seems we have been taking on more order, as we realize the right decisions do make a difference. We seem to favor paradise, over oblivion. We have the ability to create for ourselves the stuff of religion, of God, of order, of meaning. But without us to interpret and create what we want to be there, there is nothing, no good, no evil, nothing but chaotic oblivion. We can become whatever we strive to be.
